Log-transform and the weak Harnack inequality for kinetic Fokker-Planck equations
Abstract
This article deals with kinetic Fokker-Planck equations with essentially bounded coefficients. A weak Harnack inequality for non-negative super-solutions is derived by considering their Log-transform and adapting an argument due to S. N. Kruzkov (1963). Such a result rests on a new weak Poincaré inequality sharing similarities with the one introduced by W.~Wang and L.~Zhang in a series of works about ultraparabolic equations (2009, 2011, 2017). This functional inequality is combined with a classical covering argument recently adapted by L. Silvestre and the second author (2020) to kinetic equations.
